In situ urethroplasty after artificial urinary sphincter cuff erosion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuff erosion is a challenging complication traditionally managed with device removal and Foley catheter drainage. Urethral stricture can result secondary to the healing process, delaying AUS reimplantation. In situ urethroplasty (ISU) technique is a definitive repair at the time of device removal. Early results demonstrate a decreased rate of stricture formation compared to traditional management with little additional operative time and no additional complications. Patients undergoing ISU have less delay prior to AUS reimplantation, leading to possible benefit in health-related quality of life (HRQL) outcomes.

Artificial urinary sphincters placed after posterior urethral distraction injuries in children are at risk for erosion.
PURPOSE Management for posterior urethral disruption and concurrent bladder neck incompetence is controversial. Some groups recommend treatment with a Mitrofanoff catheterizable stoma, while others advocate urethral reconstruction with delayed placement of an artificial urinary sphincter. We report our experience with the latter strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of all p...

Introduction: Urethral erosion accounts for one of the most dreaded complications after implantations of artificial sphincters. We report two cases involving urethral diverticula, as a result of prosthetic removal caused by urethral erosion. Case Report: Case A: BG, patient aged 72, affected by urinary incontinence post-radical prostatectomy. In 1999 the patient had an implant of artificial sph...

متن کاملArtificial urinary sphincter revision for urethral atrophy: comparing single cuff downsizing and tandem cuff placement
OBJECTIVE To compare outcomes for single urethral cuff downsizing versus tandem cuff placement during artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) revision for urethral atrophy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 1778 AUS surgeries performed at our institution from 1990-2014. Of these, 406 were first AUS revisions, including 69 revisions for urethral atrophy. Multiple clinical and surgical variables w...
